Transgender Therapists in Mobile, AL

I practice a holistic approach to therapy where you and I work together to help you as a whole person, not just one concern. I believe in reinforcing what strengths you already have while challenging which patterns slow down or stop progress or growth. There's no "right or wrong, good or bad" in addressing concerns. There's what works and what doesn't. Together, we can find what works to do more of it, and less of what doesn't.

My practice serves women looking for modern, evidence-based therapy in a warm, open setting. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy has a mountain of research behind it, supporting its use for a wide variety of psychological and interpersonal problems. For many of these problems, it is the treatment of choice. My approach to therapy is collaborative but directive; the therapy hour follows an agenda that you help to create based on your goals, and includes the psycho-education, challenging questions, and specific homework assignments that will help you to reach those goals.

“Dance like no one is watching, sing like no one is listening. . ."Mark Twain. This quote illustrates the kind of practice I strive to create. I believe it is necessary to encourage clients to feel free from judgment, criticism, or fear from what someone else thinks. My goal is to provide a safe place using an eclectic approach involving person centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing. This allows clients to establish a course that is personally tailored to meet the needs of those with substance use disorders, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

“To change ourselves effectively, we first had to change our perceptions.” Stephen R. Covey’s words summarize the basis of my work as a therapist—helping others to change their perceptions. I strive to assist individuals and families gain a renewed perspective and work towards overcoming trauma and/or conflict in their lives.

I work with clients through the lifespan. I believe in meeting clients where they are to achieve goals and find more contentment with their lives. While I do work with people struggling with mental illness, I also work with those who would just like to gain perspective and increased effectiveness in their lives.

My goal is to provide clients with a safe, non-judgmental, affirming environment where self-exploration, growth, and positive change can occur. I work with adolescents, adults, and those in the LGBTQ+ community. I have experience working with individuals who have experienced significant trauma, abuse, depression, and anxiety.

My goal is to provide a safe space for my clients to share their stories and learn to love themselves. I believe that people learn how to act, react, and interact from their families and environment. Sometimes those patterns get in the way of the life they want. In therapy, I guide the client towards healing through providing a balance of nurturance and challenging so my clients can reach their goals.

Sometimes life gets the best of us and we just need someone to hold time and space for us. Other times, anxiety, grief and depression take hold and make everyday living difficult. I offer an open and affirming space to explore and process life stressors and trauma. In my practice I use CBT, trauma-informed, strengths- based, solution focused and person centered methods focused to meet you where you are and to support you in where you want to go.

Life can be a bumpy road. The path we take can lead us to happiness or to despair. Making a wrong turn, not knowing which way to go or reaching what seems like a dead end is not the end of your journey. Sometimes we all need help getting to where we want to be. As a counselor, I help make your journey a more positive one. Grief and loss can stop you in your tracks and hinder you from moving forward. The loss of a loved one, job, relationship, pregnancies or even your life before illness or change can cause feelings of grief. Counseling helps work through the pain of your loss to experience joy again. A life you want is within reach.

Do you want to live a happier and healthier life? Talking to an experienced, qualified therapist can help. I treat adults, teens, couples, and families seeking relief from depression, anxiety, grief, addiction,and mood disorders. We all work strive towards happiness, but we sometimes get stuck in pattern from the past and live with anxiety about the future. You don't have to suffer alone.

Struggling with anxiety impacts your entire existence as a woman. Worst case scenarios can consume your thoughts, making it almost impossible to find moments of peace or joy in your day. Difficult transitions in life can cause so many changes, emotionally and physically, that make you feel like you have lost a part of yourself along the way. With therapy, it is possible to heal from past hurts and build a life free of constant panic and intrusive thoughts. Imagine being able to enjoy present moments, find realistic coping strategies that fit into your busy life and build a life filled with confidence, joy, and peace.

"People start to heal the moment they are heard." Everyone deserves the opportunity to work toward their full potential in a safe and supportive setting. What do you need to heal from? I have a passion for learning about people and helping them overcome whatever is hindering them from experiencing their optimal lives. My therapeutic belief centers around a solution-focused, strength-based approach in order to enhance skills and facilitate change needed to gain personal growth. It is my mission to provide my clients with the utmost respect in an open and comfortable therapeutic environment.
